F5B. Becoming America: From Colony to Constitutional Republic
History & World Affairs | Available (Membership Required)
Join us as we explore the people, politics, and economy of America during the first two centuries. Settlers contested with indigenous inhabitants, slavery adopted a very American focus, and fledgling beginnings at self-governance developed into a movement for independence from Britain. No prior knowledge or outside readings is required; copies of all slide presentations will be available.
